upon finding themselves in the Google listings? More than 99.9999999% of us are just "ordinary", unspectacular beings. Conceit, delusion and illusion makes us think we are more or worth more than we really rate.
By the same token, I rate the populace more valuable than most politicians, as the are extraordinary, but extraordinarily super-conceited...
So, are you putting the "HOMO" in security, are pointing out the Hetero insecurity? Or, Homo insecurity? In any case, we can resurrect the Village People as the IT administrators....
I predict/surmise that China will have to relent or compromise. Search engines do good for the site owners of copyrighted material when the return results act as free advertising.
Site owners who DON'T want their sites OR material OR both to appear should add flags in the site headers. Yahoo! and other search engines could make some deal (not for exploitation by content owners) that if they opt out, then they stand to lose out on advertising. If they opt in, they flag how deep the sites can crawl down through their sites.
But, still, tributary and unauthorized sites reproducing or acting as torrents for material will still circumvent these crawl-depth flags, effectively nullifying what the Chinese courts are trying to impose.
But, then, maybe they don't care. It will be good for Baidu. BUT, then the US will complain and go the WTO, citing barriers to free trade...
I find it a travesty that (as it appears) the law enforcement helicopters do NOT have similar protection that US military pilots have as regards gold or other lamination of the cockpits.
Also, some (I don't know about this Kern County's) police and other LE helicopters have stabilized cameras, heat searching lenses, and other optics gizmos. If THIS helo had them, and he used these capabilities to zero in on them, and then fixated with his own eyes instead of viewing via the "glass cockpit" repeaters, then he might want to think about that the next time he flies out -- assuming he retains his vision certification.
It IS illegal in many areas to point laser in any kind of manner (menacing or not) into traffic because only a few years ago reckless teens and adults pointed and shined them into the eyes of motorists who then thought they were being targeted by drive-by or hiding shooters. I think those were red pointers, and green seems new (to me) as an offensive activity that gets noticed in cities.
The pilot might have been smarter to localize the origination and then have dispatch send a squad car to sneak up on them. The pilot had no business dwelling his vision directly for so long considering that he MIGHT have become disoriented and crash his machine onto population.
Once the harmful lasing occurred, he should have (if it were possible) trained his thermal optics gear to lock on and stabilize his hover, or fly a stealthy pattern to not tip off the laser pointers that he was teasing them to delay their quitting before getting apprehended. Of course, I'm only quarterbacking.
As for the mirror thing, I was thinking of "Enter The Dragon" (IIRC), where the Claw man and Bruce were fighting. Eventually, one of them broke mirrors, but in my mind, having shatters but not removed glass might be as troublesome as the intact mirrors. (I guess it depends on the actual shatter patterns, and I bet there are some people who are NOT fooled by even the intact glass...)
It's like firing a salvo across the battleship msoft's bow. Might be firing arrows, and in a house of mirrors, but it's still firing shots. With an arrow, a leader can still be maimed or killed. Shatter the mirrors, and somebody's vision is jarred.
Hopefully Mandriva has vision-correction lenses to make up for all the spider webs that will be generated. But, hopefully, thar be toxins on zee arrows, maytes...
Since your sig file brings up Santa and oral sex in the same breath... a joke for you:

Santa was caught by surprise when delivering gifts to a house.
"Hey little girl, what are you doing awake at this hour?"
"Oh, Santa, I've been waiting all year for you. Please stay a while."
"Ho-ho-ho, gotta goooh gotta goohh. Gotta deliver these toys you know?"
She played with her night gown, pulling it tight... "Please, Santa, don't go..."
"Ho-ho-ho, gotta goooh gotta goohh. Gotta deliver these toys you know?"
She played more with her night gown, pulling it tighter... In sultry voice, she said, "Please, Santa, don't go... I need you, so bad... Won't you stayyyy...?"
"Ho-ho-ho, gotta goooh gotta goohh. Gotta deliver these toys you know?"
She slinked up to Santa and slithered up and down his leg, purring, "But, Santa, I really, really need you...Ahhhh..."
"Ho-ho-ho, gotta goooh gotta goohh. Gotta deliver these toys you know?"
"Santa, ohhhh, Santa...."
"Hey, hey, hey... Gotta stay, gotta stay. Can't go up the CHIMney my DICK this way!"
(My brother told me this one when we were teens, like ages ago... I think he learned it at Catholic School when I was in the 7th grade...)

I guess that, too, was "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Swell. But, at least they weren't TOTALLY in the closet. Was their closet half-empty, or half-full?
GO ARMY!
(If they were reported for buying more windoze boxes, I'd say, in Navy football fashion, "BEAT ARMY!")
I think those guys have too much time on their hands... but that can be a topic for another... time...

Yeh, I do come up with some peculiar analogies...
